Las precipitaciones de la estación pluvial sobre los macizos montañosos del Sahara forman torrentes de gran potencia que arrancan materiales en las vertientes y los transportan hasta el llano, antes de perderse en cuencas endorreicas. Allí se ejerce, en el curso de los milenios, la acción conjugada de la arroyada y del viento que transforma esos derrubios. Con ellos se constituirán dos formaciones distintas: el erg, de arena, y el reg, pedregal de cantos pulidos por el viento cargado de arena. 1, record 1, Spanish, - reg
